Treacle
TREACLE is the story of two friends, BELLE, and JESSIE, who go on a weekend away to help Jessie get over a recent breakup. Road tripping through California, we follow them over the course of 24 hours as Belle convinces Jessie to not cancel the trip she’d originally planned to go on with her ex. Lines begin to blur between them when the always heterosexual Jessie in her drunken, post breakup loneliness kisses bisexual Belle. TREACLE aims to give a voice to the ‘B’ in ‘LGBT’.

The Conrads
Joss Conrad's wife Cammie has always wanted to be a mother, but recently learned she was unable to conceive. Joss, on the other hand, has never seen herself fit to be a mom. Still, she loves Cammie enough to give pregnancy a try, secretly hoping the low odds of IVF will be in her favour. Much to her dismay, she discovers she is pregnant while Cammie is out of town attending a conference. With a few days of solitude, she is faced with a decision that will change both of their lives forever.
